The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA
Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.
Trump moves to dismantle major US climate research center in Colorado
The Trump administration is breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

NCAR is foundational scientific infrastructure. This is escalating the assault on climate science, and there is a direct line between this step and the loss of many human lives.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
Climate denialism, empowered by nihilists and know-nothings, undermining science & destroying the evidence that they previously just rejected. Meanwhile, out here in WA, roads are sliding into rivers (an unprecedented weather event) b/c it’s too damn warm to be raining this hard for this long.

Time to repurpose #AGU25 as a mass mobilization in support of NCAR, NSF, NOAA, NASA, USGS, DOE BER, and the Congressional power of the purse.
Key misunderstanding I want to get ahead of: NCAR isn't really a government agency like NIH or NSF. It's one of the largest NSF grants in history, and is given to a non-profit org called UCAR, whose job is to make NCAR exist (www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...). That means the buck stops with NSF right now

Does anyone know of a good writeup/course/presentation/etc. for contract negotiations for community-run events like volunteer-led conferences? I'd love to pass it along to various groups I volunteer with (and learn myself) as we get into sponsor contract negotiation season for the coming year.
So I've had this idea bumping around in my brain forever, and I came across a few posts about gerrymandered districts that made me want to toss this out: What if the law was all districts must be a regular geometric shape such that each state picks one? E.g., state A picks hexagons. Stupid thought?
Want to learn why asking "Why?" is soo important? How about the future of platform engineering? We covered a lot in our latest episode of #CloudNativeCompass with hosts @rawkode.dev, @nimbinatus.bsky.social, and our special guest @chipnick.com Check it out!

Today we had some long conversations about Arc Bash and the future of scripting as well as platforms and the rise and fall of Kubernetes.\nThe fall of Kubernetes. Hmm. I'll have Claude write a new one

Even in small-town Texas. Brief bit from the downtown Fredericksburg #NoKings. Full block full, both sides of Main Street. Lots of honking and cheering
Even before I heard the devastating, horrific news of political assassination in Minnesota, I woke up this morning thinking about Emily Dickinson's great poem "'Hope' is the thing with feathers -" Lots of people know this beautiful little poem, but fewer, I think(?) realize when it was written. /1
Early run for #NoKings day, wearing US colors because the flag is for us (and US!), not a king. Find your your local protest: www.mobilize.us/nokings/map/ #running #nevernotrunning
I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

I want to choose a data removal service for data brokers and the like. I know about the massive opt-out lists on GitHub to walk through, but I know data will reappear on the brokers as soon as I finish. Right now comparing Incogni and DeleteMe. Anyone use one and have a real review/advice for me?
